San Bernardino murder suspect arrested at border

SAN DIEGO – A fugitive wanted for murder in San Bernardino County was arrested Sunday returning from Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry, officials said.

Andres Landeros Garcia, 22, was in the pedestrian line around 5 a.m. when he presented a California identification card to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.

An agent became suspicious and referred Garcia to undergo further inspection. Garcia attempted to escape, but was captured, officials said.

A check of Garcia's fingerprints confirmed his identity and officials discovered the warrant for his arrest on a murder charge.

Garcia is accused of fatally shooting Rosa Trigo on April 17, 2006, following a dispute at a nightclub, according to the San Bernardino Police Web site. The fugitive was taken to a local jail and is expected to be returned to San Bernardino, officials said.
